Scarlett Johansson hacker apologises

THE hacker who stole naked pictures of Scarlett Johansson from her phone has apologised.

Christopher Chaney, 35, from Florida, who was arrested yesterday (12.10.11), admitted to stealing pictures from Scarlett and other celebrities including Mila Kunis and Vanessa Hudgens and posting them on the internet, claiming the hacking had started as a "curiosity" but spiralled out of control when he became addicted to it.

He told Fox affiliate WAWS: "I deeply apologise. I know what I did was probably one of the worst invasions of privacy someone could experience. And these people don't have privacy to begin with. And I was in that little sliver of privacy they do have.
